If you’re planning a visit to the Vatican, you’ll want to know where to eat nearby that isn’t a tourist trap. In this video, I take you through some of my favorite local spots in the Prati and Borgo areas: From casual cafés for a quick bite after your Vatican tour to authentic restaurants that locals actually go to.
Whether you’re visiting early in the morning for an exclusive Sistine Chapel experience or finishing your day climbing St. Peter’s Dome, knowing where to eat can make a huge difference in your Vatican visit.
